A VRChat account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. VRChat secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

  1. 1

  3. 3

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code VRChat displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your VRChat account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If VRChat shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how VRChat recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

Menu names on VRChat can change — the official VRChat 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your VRChat account

If you lose access to your authenticator and VRChat gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If VRChat doesn't, or you didn't save them, use VRChat's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
